Our philosophy at IHC Hockey is a Moving Player is an Improving Player. You have to keep the players focused and engaged in the drills and in the objective of the session. Once they start standing in line for long periods of time, their mind wonders and their attention span is shot. Ice utilization is key for productive practices and skill sessions. Players have to perform the drill with perfect technique to break their comfort zone and to improve. If they are not constantly moving, their comfort zone is not being challenged and therefore there will be very little or no improvement. Hockey is an anaerobic sport which means without oxygen. Therefore, players have to practice and work on their techniques when in an anaerobic state. Also, the coaches and instructors have to be engaged with the players to keep their attention span and enthusiasm at their highest. Coaches and instructors have to instruct, correct, and demonstrate to get the point and the techniques across to the players. Maybe this is the reason that IHC Hockey has been in business and helping players play at the next level longer than anyone else, for thirty-six years.
